For example, The Boston Globe article “Approve Gorsuch with a simple majority vote,” by Eric Fehrnstrom claims that president Trump chose Gorsuch to unifies the republican party.

As Davis and Landler wrote for The New York Times, “conservatives and business group cheered Judge Gorsuch, calling his record distinguished and his qualification unparalleled” (Davis and Landler 2). This shows that the conservative groups are happy with Gorsuch’s nomination and that provides a sign of unity. In fact, Fehrnstrom writes that Gorsuch has argued that “religious expression in public spaces is constitutionally protected” (Davis and Landler 6). This shows that Gorsuch is like Scalia in defending the religious views in turn of laws; therefore, catholic and evangelical Republicans will unify around

    In his book he talks about how the media distorts the issues that are broadcasted in the news. Bernie Goldberg, also a Fox News contributor, says in a interview with John Stossel that America is stuck in a contradictory media culture and bias is everywhere in the news. There is also a huge bias on the viewer's part and people are wanting to get their opinions justified. Liberals watch the Liberal networks and Conservatives watch Conservative networks to get their views validated. Before there was not much of a choice of what new broadcasts people could watch, which made it easier for people to stay open minded.…

    Judge Neil Gorsuch is the nominee that president Trump has nominated to serve as a supreme court justice. Judge Gorsuch was nominated to take the place of Justice Antonin Scale who unfortunately died while serving in office. This is somewhat of a rare occasion because it is not often a justice died while serving. It is even more extraordinary that it happened the same year the presidential election was scheduled to happen. When this rare occasion occurs, per article 2 of the constitution, this gives the president the power to nominate a justice the supreme court.…

    The political landscape as we know it today has always allowed The President of the United States to select his own Supreme Court judge. However, should the Supreme Court Judge’s beliefs represent the traits or value systems of the President of United States? For example, President George Bush appointed both Clarence Thomas and David Souter, two contrasting personalities say the least. Nonetheless, Clarence Thomas was known for his boldness, committed to seeking out the original meaning of the Constitution, perhaps, similarities to President Bush prosecuted the Gulf War and how he stood behind Thomas controversial confirmation hearings (McGinnis, Flaherty, 1995).…

    In “Limiting Democracy: The American Media’s World View, and Ours” written by Glenn Greenwald, Greenwald explains the issues in American media that skew citizens views about the world, beliefs about certain countries, and cultural biases. Greenwald argues that “[Americans] all have an inherent resistance to believing that our own understanding of the political world is … limited.” This is due to the fact that the American media leaves so much out of the public’s eye that we don't think there is anything else worth discovering about the other side. The information American citizens are subject to, are made to help us feel proud of our country and think poorly of a differing one. This narrow view of world events is dangerous to the public because…

    Introduction I’m sure that many people these days have noted Mr. Trump’s battle or comments on Twitter have often been blown up into their faces by the media these days. In fact, it’s quite rare to find a news article that doesn’t include the infamous family name “Trump” either. It’s a constant ongoing battle between the Trump and media sources. After all, he had went from a big television personality to now becoming our president, which no one would have originally seen coming and is a particular nuisance to many as he both dislikes media and tends to make outrageous statements. Yet, many people within America and even outside of America tend to be attracted to this attention to Trump’s administration.…

    Gorsuch’s stances on many of the more divisive issues facing the United States are practically as unclear as the vocabulary of his predecessor. On immigration, he has offered no definitive ruling. However, being an ardent constitutionalist, he has stated "A government of diffused powers, [omit] is a government less capable of invading the liberties of the people.” This seems to signal trouble for a President who has issued executive orders at an unprecedented rate and of remarkable scope. On abortion, Gorsuch has never given an opinion, but has been known to err on the side of religious freedom.…

    For sixteen years, Alito served as a judge in the U.S. Court of Appeals. It was here that he proved to be difficult to predict in his rulings. “While he was a conservative judge, he approached rulings on a case-by-case basis, rather than perceiving and assigning a farther-reaching ideology to the case at hand with the hope of that ideology extending to cases beyond the present one.” (Chicago-Kent par. 3)…

    President Trump’s first official meeting with congressional leaders for the first time. In the article, “ Trump Repeats Lie About Popular Vote in Meeting With Lawmakers” by Michael D. Shear and Emmarie Huetteman, he states that millions of immigrants made him lose the popular vote majority. He has made plenty of these claims before on Twitter and also at the White House Reception. This shows evidence that Mr. Trump still overthinking and cares about the issue, even though he has become President. He is concerned that the public views his presidency, unsanctioned because of the conspiracy of how Russia helped him win the election against Mrs. Clinton.…

    The confirmation battles over recently nominated justices certainly suggest that many people view the justices’ personal politics as an important factor in judicial decision-making. But we should not so quickly conclude that Supreme Court justices, like politicians, merely try to institute their own policy preferences. A number of factors complicate the analysis. First, it is difficult to disentangle a justice’s political preferences from his or her…

    Dr. Ben Carson is known by millions across the nation for being an extraordinary neurosurgeon and now, a leader in the Republican race for the presidential election.

Several liberal news journalists are suspicious, accusing Dr. Carson of lying about his past.

    Common sense seems to dictate that one of the current presidential candidates, Donald Trump was never thought to be running to lead our country. Trump is most commonly known as the very successful businessman who has made billions of dollars in his lifetime. He is also known for being extremely outspoken, and opinionated. Although, I don’t believe he would be the best option for our country due to his fearlessness when it comes to offending people and could even potentially chose the wrong words ruining our relationships with other countries. I am aware that many voters are ready for a change to a more outgoing, and verbal candidate.…
